During a water birth, a baby is delivered in a birthing pool filled with lukewarm water. Deciding on a birth plan is a highly personal choice. There are a variety of reasons women choose water births over conventional methods. Know the rationale behind water births before deciding to undergo the procedure yourself.  A baby spends nine months floating in an amniotic sac filled with fluids. Many women and doctors believe the transition from womb to world is easier on a child if they're submerged in water before being exposed to the open air. However, there is no research to support this and this is only opinion. For many women, water births can be less painful. Women who spend time in water during labor request pain-relieving drugs roughly half as much as women who use conventional methods.  Tearing of the perineum, the area between the vagina and anus, is common during birth. Warm water can soften these tissues, making them more malleable as the baby passes through. Tearing and damage may be less likely during water births.  For many women, warm water can feel soothing and reduce stress during labor. Warm water has also been known to stimulate the body's release of endorphins, a feel-good hormone.  Your weight is supported by water, making it easier to sit upright during delivery. This allows your pelvis to open to pass the baby during birth. A water birth can be performed in a hospital setting or at home. Depending on your preference, there are special considerations for each method.  If you decide to give birth in a hospital, you need to make sure the hospital is able and willing to accommodate a water birth. Many hospitals either have policies prohibiting water births or do not have the proper resources for water births. If you want to go the hospital route, you should make sure a water birth is allowed in your chosen hospital and with your OB/GYN or midwife. You may have to switch hospitals or doctors if you're set on a water birth and your doctor cannot provide one. The majority of water births are done...

TL;DR in English: Know why some women choose water births. Decide if you will give birth in a hospital or at home. Be aware of the risk factors.

Your relationship with your mom may not feel very nurturing, so it's important to get social support from others. This may come from your dad, grandparents, aunts and uncles, friends, or other mentors in your community. If you need to talk, reach out to these people to vent about your mom or get practical advice for dealing with her passive-aggressive behavior. Become more aware of your own anger that stems from your mother's behavior. Start a daily journal practice of writing down what you're feeling. Periodically re-read your entries to look for recurring patterns and brainstorm solutions.  For instance, brainstorming solutions might include noticing that you and your mom usually bump heads whenever you're feeling tired. To fix the problem, keep those interactions short and sweet. Excuse yourself and go to your room rather than trying to reason with her when you're already exhausted. Put your journal in a safe place where your mother can't find it and read it. Some good places might be under your mattress, behind other books in a bookcase, or in your closet. Take good care of yourself by doing activities that promote wellness, like eating well and exercising.  Also, try  mindfulness meditation to learn how to sit with your anger or frustration and keep stress at bay with yoga or  deep breathing. You might also do special activities just for you, such as coloring, listening to your favorite music, or cuddling with a special someone. Work through your thoughts and feelings with a professional. A counselor can help you heal from emotional neglect and even teach useful skills like assertiveness training, so you can better interact with your mother. If you think she's up for it, you might invite your mom to a counseling session at some point, too.

TL;DR in English: Get support from your social circle. Develop a journaling habit to release your frustration. Perform  self-care regularly. See a  counselor.

Turn it so that it is horizontal in front of you. Use a ruler if you like neat, precise lines. Make each square large enough to record your assignments. If you are using a smaller notebook, you may only be able to comfortably fit one row. That’s perfectly fine. It’s better to have only one week on the page than to make the boxes so small that you can’t fit all the information you need. Start with “Monday” above the first column, “Tuesday” above the second, and so on through Friday. The sixth and final column is for the weekend, so you can write either “Weekend” or “Saturday/Sunday.” For example, Monday, February 3rd to Sunday, February 16th. Rotate it so that it is vertical again. ” If you have enough space on your calendar, you could also just write your extracurricular activities there. However, you may find that your assignments fill the available space.

Cut off the peeling faux leather with a razor blade. Apply leather soft filler to the peeled area with a putty knife. Push the soft filler off of the furniture seams and smooth the surface. Let the soft filler cure for 20 minutes. Apply a second layer of soft filler to the patch you’re repairing. Add texture to the repair job by pressing plastic wrap against it. Apply leather paint to the repaired patch with a damp sponge.

Grab a notebook and a pen that you will carry with you for a few days. Write down any activities you engage in, including work, errands, taking care of yourself, and having fun. Include how often you usually do these actions (daily, weekly, monthly).  This may include things like:  Commuting. Working. Sleeping. Cleaning your house. Grooming. Shopping for groceries. If there are other things that you’d like to do, but never seem to get around to, include these on your list. As you organize your day, you will figure out how to include these new activities into your routine. These might be things like:  Working out. Prepping healthy meals. Playing guitar. Hanging out with friends. Once you have a list of your activities (including aspirational ones), and how often you complete each task, you must reflect on how long each activity takes. Try your best to be realistic.  Include the time it takes to get to where you need to be. Include the time it takes for you to get ready for each activity. Include the time it takes for you to wrap up. If you’ll be working out, for instance, you may need to shower and change when you’re done. There is only so much time in every day. This means you must pick and choose which activities are most useful to you. This life change is two-fold: it will involve breaking some time-wasting habits, and learning to say "no."  Common time-wasting habits include social media, checking email too often, watching television, and gossiping. When you engage in these types of activities, consider setting a timer for yourself. When the time is up, you must get back to work. If your boss, friends, spouse, and family are all asking things of you, it can be hard to keep up! Whenever you are asked to complete a project or do a favor, stop to consider whether or not you truly have the time to do the task well. Sometimes, you will need to say, "I just don't have time for that today."

TL;DR in English: Write down what you do. Include any aspirations. Determine how long each activity takes. Cut unnecessary activities.

You will need to use 2 oz (60 ml) of Seafoam for every 1 gallon (4 L) of petroleum oil.  You'll be adding the Seafoam directly to the oil in your vehicle. Since Seafoam is made of petroleum, it is safe to mix into the oil and should not cause any damage to the vehicle. When used in this manner, Seafoam will re-liquify old fuel and deposits, clearing out the carburetor bowl and jets in the process. Switch off the engine, if it is presently running, and allow the engine to completely cool down before continuing. Adding room temperature Seafoam to burning hot oil can shock the carburetor valve springs and damage your vehicle. Remove the cap from the engine oil spout and pour the calculated amount of Seafoam directly into the carburetor throat. Consider using a funnel to pour in the Seafoam. Doing so is not strictly necessary, but funnels can help reduce the threat of accidental spills. Cap the carburetor throat, close the hood of the car, and drive the vehicle as usual for as many as 250 miles (402 km).  You should get the oil changed once you have driven a distance between 100 and 250 miles (160 and 402 km). Seafoam is a potent additive, so the oil filter can struggle and the quality of the oil can degrade after this distance. After driving the car and changing the oil, the process is complete.

TL;DR in English: Calculate the correct amount of Seafoam. Keep the engine cold. Pour Seafoam into the carburetor throat. Drive the vehicle as many as 250 miles (402 km).

Before repairing the faux leather, you’ll first need to remove all of the flaking pieces. Use your fingers and a razor blade to peel, scrape, and cut away the peeling sections of faux leather from your chair or sofa. Don’t slice off more faux leather than necessary, though. Only remove what’s already loose and flaking.  You can purchase 5-packs of razor blades at most hardware stores. Exercise caution when using a razor blade and never cut towards yourself. Scoop out a 1 inch (2.5 cm) dollop of soft filler with a putty knife. Still using the knife, smear the filler across the peeled section of the leather furniture. Smooth out the filler so that it’s a uniform thickness across the peeled section. Try not to get filler on the unpeeled sections of the faux leather. Soft filler will bond with the base fabric of the faux leather and create a new vinyl-like surface. You can purchase it at any leather store and at many craft supply stores. If you happened to apply any filler to the furniture’s seams, you can use a stiff piece of paper to rub if off. Use the edge of an index or business card to push filler out of the seam. Then, run the long edge of the card over the top of the fabric you’re repairing to smooth out the layer of filler. Clearing the seams and feathering the edges of the soft filler will give the repair job a more professional look. The filler will cure relatively quickly. It’s important that you don’t touch the filler while it’s curing. If you have small children or pets in your home, keep them out of the room with the curing filler. If you’re repairing a small chair, you could move the chair outdoors and let it sit in the sun if the weather is pleasant. This will speed up the curing process. Once the first layer has dried, use your putty knife to apply a second thick layer of filler to the leather. As before, avoid spreading the filler onto undamaged parts of the faux leather. Tear off a 12 in (30 cm) piece of plastic wrap and warp it around your hand. Press your plastic-covered palm against the...

Part of what makes Taboo enjoyable is the manic quality of clue giving, so don't be afraid to say as much information as quickly as you can. The one point of being careful is to still avoid saying any of the taboo words.  Read the guess-word and all of the taboo words before you begin to give any clues. You want to remember what words you can't say. If you realize partway into giving your clues that you said something early on that was a bad clue and that actually confused your teammates, you can tell them to disregard that clue. If you can get people thinking about words that are similar to the word you're describing, you can get them on the right track. Remember, you can't say “sounds like” or “rhymes with,” so don't try to use these in your clues.  For example, if the guess-word is poster, you might be able to described it as a wall hanging, or a picture. If the guess-word was angry, you could say, “It is not happy or pleased.” Many words that you'll get could have more than one meaning, and it doesn't matter which meaning you describe. So using the various meanings of words will help people make the connection about what those meanings have in common.  If you have a word like bank, you can get people there by describing the place you deposit money or the edge of a river. If the word is chicken, you could describe it as a farm animal and also what you call someone who is acting afraid. You could describe when two cars are racing toward each other until one of them veers out of the way. Sometimes you'll get a word that your team gets stumped on. Even though you lose a point for passing, if you move on to other words that are easier, then you can get more points for your team. Losing one point is worth gaining three if you can.  It's quite common for someone to win 6 points in a 1-minute round, so don't spend more than about 15 seconds on a given word. It's likely that the point you'll earn won't be worth it You still want to do this with discretion because if you pass on too many, then you'll just end up...

TL;DR in English: Give clues quickly but carefully. Use synonyms and antonyms. Describe multiple meanings that a word could have. Pass on words that take too long.

Retrofitting an existing room in your home or business is the cheapest and simplest way to protect your loved ones from storms or intruders. While building or installing a prefabricated safe room can cost between $2500-$6000, you can retrofit an existing room for a thousand or less. Choose a room that is in the interior of the house with no windows or skylight, and no walls shared with the outdoors A large walk-in closet works well. A safe room needs a door that can withstand high winds or being kicked in by an intruder, and should ideally open inwards rather than outwards in case debris is stacked outside the room during a storm.  Remove the existing door and doorjamb. Replace the doorjamb with a steel one, and reinforce the surrounding wood with steel angle iron (which will prevent the door from being kicked or blown in).  Replace the door with a heavy, solid wood door (such as one sold as an exterior front door for a home) or with a heavy steel door.  Mount it so that it opens inwards rather than out. You can choose if you want to use a traditional deadbolt or a keyless deadbolt. The keyless deadbolt has the advantage that you don't have to find the key in case of an emergency, but can be dangerous if you have small children in your household who may lock themselves inside.  Before installing the new locks and doorknob, reinforce the wood around them by installing steel or brass strike plates, which you can purchase at most hardware stores.  Install the locks so that the door locks from the inside. If it's a traditional deadbolt, be sure to make a copy of the key and keep the keys in two separate but easily accessible locations, where you can find them immediately in case of emergency. If you are adding the safe room to new construction, you can reinforce the walls and ceiling with concrete, chicken wire, or steel sheeting before adding dry wall and paint to the walls. If not, you will need to tear out the existing drywall to reinforce the walls.  The most cost-effective way to reinforce the walls is by...

TL;DR in English: Select your room to retrofit. Replace the door. Install locks. Reinforce the walls and ceiling. Contact a contractor for help.

Maybe you feel uncomfortable talking out loud to God, find it difficult to concentrate when talking to God in your mind, or maybe neither of the two work for you at all. If that’s the case, try writing to God. This form of communicating will still enable you to express your thoughts for a connection and create your side of a conversation with God. Choose something that will feel comfortable to write in every day.  A spiral notebook or journal would be an ideal choice since it will easily lay flat on a desk.  Select your preferred writing tool. You’ll want to write to God by hand instead of typing on a computer.  Computers have endless distractions, and for some the act of typing requires more conscious effort than scribbling in a notebook. Even though you won’t be speaking aloud, it’s still best to find a quiet spot for maximum concentration. Before you get started set a timer for a length of time that feels comfortable to write for.  You may set it for five, ten or twenty minutes.  Keep your pen or pencil moving until the timer goes off. Try not to be self-conscious about what you write.  Don’t worry about grammar and punctuation, or about what you’re actually writing.  In writing to God, you want your words to come from the heart.  In order to do that you’ll need to relax enough that you can write freely about whatever comes to mind. If you’re not sure what to write about, consider writing about a current concern that you can’t stop thinking about.  Write about what’s happening in your day to day life.  Write down any questions you want God to answer for you.  Or write about your goals or what you’re thankful for.  Use the examples below for inspiration.  “Dear God, I have no idea what I’m doing in my life right now.  I can’t seem to make good choices or meet the right people.  I feel like I’m drowning in drama.  When will this end?  When will things change for me?” “I can’t even contain my excitement right now, God.  Today I met a woman who works at my dream job.  Our meeting was completely serendipitous. ...

TL;DR in English: Write to God as a form of communication. Purchase or find a blank writing notebook and pen. Find a quiet and private space to write. Write for a specific amount of time. Write fast and freely. Write to God as if you’re writing a letter to a friend, or as if you’re writing in a private journal.

When you’ve found a pawn shop with the right terms for your needs, don’t be afraid to negotiate for the best deal. The pawn shop staff can always decline your offer or offer a counter, so you have nothing to lose by trying.  When you negotiate, allow the shop to make the first offer. You can negotiate the value of the jewelry, the interest rate of the loan, and the time it will take you to pay it back.  Be prepared to walk away if the shop staff isn't willing to give you the terms that you want. Don’t trust a pawn shop that doesn’t offer some sort of contract or agreement that documents the loan. Make sure the terms of the loan, the interest rate, and the timing of loan payback are clearly outlined. Be sure there is also a description of the jewelry included. Take photos of your jewelry laying next to the contract at the pawn shop in case there are any future disputes about the terms or the jewelry pawned. It’s really important to pay back the loan on time so that you can recover your jewelry safely. Pawn shops can’t resell everything that gets pawned so they will often melt down jewelry into pure metals and sell it at a market price. They can do this as soon as the jewelry is officially theirs. Therefore, your best chance of recovering your jewelry is by repaying the loan by the date and time listed on the contract.

TL;DR in English: Negotiate at the pawn shop. Sign a contract. Pay back the loan on time.

Components like lights, windshield wipers, radios, etc. draw power from the battery to run.  If you want your battery to charge effectively, they will need to be turned off. . In order to jumpstart your vehicle you will need another vehicle that has a good battery to give you a boost. Usually parking the cars facing each other will get the batteries closes, but sometimes it's better to park them side by side.  Either way, be sure that the cars are not touching. You will need these to connect the dead battery to the good battery. Current will flow between them, allowing your engine to start and charge your dead battery.  If you have a choice, longer cables can be easier to connect but transfer energy less effectively than short cables.  Also, a lower gauge cable (thicker) will transfer energy faster. The batteries will be located in a different place depending on the make and model of the vehicles. Most batteries will be found either under the hood and or in the trunk of your vehicle.  Sometimes the battery is not easily accessible.  If this is the case you most likely have a charging post under the hood that is connected to the battery.

It's better to layer short hair when it's evenly damp, so that you can cut the hair with greater precision. Wash and condition your hair as usual, then towel it dry in preparation for the haircut.  Layering short hair is more difficult to do by yourself than layering long hair, since you're creating each layer individually. Keep in mind that this method will only work for pixie style cuts. Take a look at your hair and decide exactly where you want the layers to be and how short you want them before you begin. Plan to cut your hair in a well-lit bathroom with at least two mirrors, so you can check your progress often and see the back of your head as well. Short hair must be divided into sections before layering. Use a comb to carefully divide your hair in the following way:  Make a "top box" section by creating a part on either side of the crown of the head where the head begins to round. The two parts create a section of hair in the middle of the head. Comb this "top box" forward and comb the hair to either side straight down, so that the sections are clearly delineated. It may also help to twist your hair before clipping it. Divide the rest into two parts: the first part extends from the crown of your head to your forehead, and the second part extends from the crown of your head to the nape of your neck. Lift the hair at a ninety-degree angle from your head and hold it straight between your forefinger and middle finger. Your fingers should be perpendicular to your forehead. Use a sharp scissors to trim the tips of the hair extending from between your fingers. Let the hair fall, then use the comb to lift another section of hair in the section of hair that is immediately behind the front section. Then comb a bit of the hair from the first section into this new section. This will serve as a guide for the correct length. Hold it at a 90-degree angle from your head between your forefinger and middle finger, then trim the tips to the exact same length as the first section of hair you trimmed.  Continue trimming...

Annuals typically thrive in well-drained soil with a pH between 6.3 and 6.7. Add 3 to 6 inches (7.6 to 15.2 cm) of peat moss, compost or manure to the garden soil to build up organic matter and create a healthy environment for the seeds to grow. Consider adding a seed-starting mix to the soil. Seed-starting mixes can be found at most garden centers. These nutrient-rich mixes can encourage seed growth. Consult the seed packet to determine how much light the annual plant will need. Many annuals need full sun, which is considered 6 or more hours of sunlight each day. Others, such as begonias or impatiens, thrive in the shade. Choose a location best suited for the sunlight requirements of your annual seeds. Consult the seed packet to determine the recommended depth and spacing for planting your annual seeds. In general, plant an annual seed at a depth that is 2 or 3 times the seed's diameter.  Plant small seeds near the top of the soil. To plant very small seeds, pour the seeds into the palm of your hand, take a pinch of the seeds with the thumb and forefinger of your opposite hand, and sprinkle the seeds over the soil. Using your hand, tap the seeds lightly into the soil so they are lightly covered with soil. Plant larger seeds further into the soil. Use a screwdriver or pencil to poke a hole into the soil at the depth recommended on the seed packet. Place the seed into the hole and fill the hole with soil. Tap the soil lightly with your hand. Keep the water around the seed moist, but don't over-water or create puddles of standing water around the seeds. Fertilize the seeds immediately after planting. In most cases, annuals planted in the ground will not need additional fertilizer after the initial application. As seedlings begin to emerge, thin the plants so they are not growing right on top of each other. Consult the seed packet to determine the ideal spacing between mature plants.

If you have access to an adult Angel Trumpet plant, harvest 1 of its seed pods after the pod turns brown or yellow. Then, carefully peel off the pod’s skin using your fingers, exposing lots of small seeds. If you don’t have access to an adult plant, purchase a pack of Angel Trumpet seeds from a gardening supply store. When you’re ready to plant your seeds, fill a small bowl with warm water and place the seeds inside. Let the seeds soak for about 24 hours, then dry them off with a clean towel. Soaking your seeds will remove the thin layer of pulp surrounding them. If you leave this layer on, they may not germinate properly. Grab a small paper towel sheet and dampen it with warm water. Then, spread your seeds out evenly on the paper towel and fold the sheet up into a tight package. Try to use sheets that are about 4 in (10 cm) long. If you have a lot of seeds, you may need to use multiple sheets. Grab your moistened paper towel package and slip it into a resealable plastic bag. Then, seal the bag. You do not need to press out any excess air before closing the bag. If you have multiple paper towel packages, make sure you use a different plastic bag for each of them. To make sure your seeds germinate properly, place them in an area that has a constant temperature between 60 and 70 °F (16 and 21 °C). Remove your seeds from the bag once they develop small, white stem strands, an indication that they’ve successfully germinated.  In most cases, your seeds should take between 3 and 4 weeks to fully germinate. You can remove your seeds as soon as you see their stem strands. You don’t have to wait for them to grow to a specific length. When left unchecked, your germinating seeds can develop mold or become fungal. To prevent this, replace the damp paper towel once every other day.

TL;DR in English: Acquire Angel Trumpet seeds. Soak the seeds in warm water for 24 hours. Wrap the seeds in a moist paper towel. Seal the seeds in a plastic bag. Store your seeds in a warm place until they germinate. Replace the paper towel every other day.

A lot of dates are arranged via text, DM, social media, and in other similar ways. When deciding how to ask a girl out, pick whichever method feels most natural to your normal way of communicating. Keep in mind that you’ll want to be really clear via text so that your intentions aren’t misunderstood. Rather than being vague and asking her to just “hang out” or what she’s up to that weekend, pick something fun that you think you’d both enjoy. This gives her something to respond to, and you won’t be left wondering what to do if she says yes. Here are some great first date ideas:  Go to an arcade or to play mini-golf Go to a coffee shop and a used bookstore Plan a movie marathon Go to an admission-free art exhibit or festival Volunteer at the local animal shelter to walk and play with the animals Make homemade pizza and do a puzzle together Send her a message that says something simple like, “Hey Kate, I think you’re really cute. Want to go play arcade games and get something to eat this Friday?” Telling her you think she’s attractive clues her in that this is a romantic message and not just a friendly one.  Remember to ask about a specific activity. For example, “Would you like to go out on a date with me next Saturday? I thought we could get dinner and go see a movie,” sounds much more romantic than, “Want to hang out sometime next weekend?” The latter could be misinterpreted. Text isn’t the only option—you could use DMs in different social media apps or send a cool video through Instagram or Snapchat. If you get rejected, don’t wait too long to reply. You could say something like, “That’s okay! I just wanted to ask. I still think you’re cool and will see you in class.” It’s not fun to get rejected, but it is a normal experience and doesn’t mean anything bad about you as a person. It’s just not the right fit right now. If you do get rejected, reassure yourself that at least now you know. You won’t be left wondering what could have happened, and you have more practice under your belt for the next time you...

TL;DR in English: Use text or social media if that’s how you normally communicate. Pick an activity to ask her to do before you send your message. Keep the text short, sweet, and specific. Accept her answer and respond quickly even if she turns you down. Make plans for your first date if she says yes.

These will take care of your phone by preventing it from being subject to knocks and scratches. This helps to keep the phone's appearance longer and may also protect it from some internal damage should you accidentally knock or drop the phone. It should be somewhere that is out of the way and where the phone is not likely to be knocked onto the floor or trodden on. For example, good places include keeping it on a desk, bookshelf, or in a cabinet. It's a good idea to choose one spot where it always goes (near a recharger) so that you can find it with ease, any time.  Do not keep your phone stored in a purse or other closed container for extended periods of time unless it is powered off. Charging a mobile phone in a closed container is a potential fire hazard and may shorten its lifespan. Li-ion batteries (typical for most phones) give off heat when charged and when discharging. Always use genuine chargers and accessories. Cheaper ones that are not compatible or made for going with your brand of phone can harm the phone or lessen its lifespan. Don't talk on your cell phone while it's raining, do not eat or drink near the phone, and avoid carrying it near open water (such as a pond, the beach, or toilets). If you do get your phone wet, see How to save a wet cell phone. Use dry tissue paper or alcohol wipes to clean the phone's exterior surfaces. Do not use water, baby wipes, or other cleaners that may inadvertently add moisture to your phone. Some phones will last more than a week or more on a single charge (when not in use), while others may need to be charged every day or every other day. If you spend too much time talking on your phone, you can quickly use up your battery's charge. Keep your battery percentage between 40%-80% for longer battery life. Even in relatively everyday activities such as watching a movie in a movie theater, or attending church, it is polite to keep your ringer on vibrate or turned off. The last thing you want to do is frantically try to turn off your ringer in these scenarios. Doing...

Purchase some rice. Combine the rice with 2-3 cups of water in a bowl. Soak the rice in the water for about 15-30 minutes. Stir the rice water a couple of times while it soaks. Strain out the rice and set the water aside. Transfer the rice water into a decorative or practical container.

Salicylic acid shampoos can help your scalp psoriasis by helping to remove the excess skin and scales of scalp psoriasis. The salicylic acid shampoo may cause the skin on your scalp to swell, then soften and peel off. There are certain situations where you should not use salicylic acid shampoos. These are situations where salicylic acid may cause you harm. Talk to your doctor before using salicylic acid if:  You are pregnant, nursing, or may become pregnant You are taking any other medications for psoriasis You are taking any herbs, supplements, non-prescription medicines, unless you have been cleared by a doctor You have any open sores or cuts on your scalp You are allergic to any of the ingredients You have any kidney or liver issues, diabetes, a skin irritation, skin infection, or poor blood circulation You have a history of Reye syndrome If you are under the age of 18 If you are on ammonium sulfate, heparin/warfarin, steroids, methotrexate, aspirin, or sulfonylureas There are two different types of salicylic acid shampoos you can use.

Then rinse your hair thoroughly and wash your hair with non-medicated shampoo and conditioner.  You can increase the leave in time for this shampoo up to one hour at a time. Just gradually increase the time in small increments. There are some other over the counter products that have lower amounts of salicylic acid as well as lactic acid, urea, or phenol that you can also try if the straight salicylic shampoo is too much for your mild psoriasis. Follow the instructions on the back of the bottle to know how often to use this shampoo. It will depend on the strength of the concentration of the salicylic acid in your shampoo. Once you have washed your hair with over the counter salicylic shampoo, you can use any additional non-medicated shampoo on your hair. This will help reduce any residual flaking on your scalp and help...

If your cake is stuck in the pan, slide a sharp knife between the pan and the edge of the cake all the way around. Use your hands to whack the sides and bottom of the pan a bit to help release the cake, then leave it to cool for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, try to turn out the cake again. If it still comes out a mess, see the suggestions above for turning it into trifle, cake balls, or another broken-cake recipe. with a sharp knife. Sometimes, your cake may rise unevenly. If that's happened to you and you want an even top, just use a sharp bread knife to cut off the uneven part. You now have an even and smooth top for frosting. Warm cake layers are more likely to crumble or tear. If you're trying to cut layers in half, leave them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to cool down, then try again.

While any type of rice will work, the most frequently used are white rice or long-grain brown rice. Whatever you have in the house is fine! Measure out ½ cup of rice and rinse it to remove any dust or impurities. Set the bowl aside on the counter and wait! Let your rice soak until the water takes on a milky, semi-opaque appearance. That milky appearance indicates that some of the rice's inositol has been released into the water. Inositol is a carbohydrate that gives rice water its milky appearance. When used on your hair, some research suggests that inositol helps protect your locks and add shine. Use a spoon or fork to break up any clumps of rice. Once the water has a cloudy or milky look to it, it should be good to go. Double check to make sure that the water does not have any lingering rice in it. Another way to do this is to boil the rice/water mixture. Just follow the same steps as soaking, but use slightly more water and strain out the rice once the water starts to boil. Allow it to cool to room temperature before using. It is now ready to use!

Spend a good amount of time nailing down what your game is before you touch a line of code. What genre is it? Is it 2D or 3D? Does the player progress in the game by solving puzzles, following/creating the story, fighting enemies, and/or exploring? The more questions you answer and the more detail you give your ideas, the more time you'll save in the long run. If you decide to make a major change after you've already started coding, the change can take many times longer to implement. Pare this down to something way, way simpler than your original idea. A small prototype that explores how your game works and gives a couple levels to play is an excellent start. Once it’s finished, you can use it as a foundation to expand into a full game, or incorporate what you learned into a new project. At this point, there are weeks or months of hard but rewarding work ahead of you. While a team of people will generally divide up the tasks below and work on them simultaneously, an individual will have to decide which task is easiest to start with or most important at each stage. Read through all the steps below and start on the task that appeals to you most. Unless you're making at text-base game, you'll need 2D images, and possibly 3D models and textures (patterns you apply to the models). Music and sound effects you can delay until a bit later in the process, but they are highly recommended if you plan to publish your game. Simple icons, user interface, and fonts are lowest-priority when your game is young, but a little effort here can greatly improve the player experience.  There are many places to find free or cheap art assets online. Try this list at makeschool.com. Hiring an artist will make a big difference. If you can't afford to, gather the assets yourself and show the result to artistic friends or post it to game development or art forums online for advice. Much of this will be written as planning documents outside the game code itself, although a story-based game may need to include branching dialogue trees. Even...

Just as light can stimulate your brain and make it difficult to fall asleep, it can also make it difficult to stay asleep throughout the night. Block out any sources of light that may be causing your insomnia.   Close any blinds, shutters, or curtains in your bedroom. Wearing a sleep mask or putting another aid such as a pillowcase over your eyes can obstruct light. Turn off any electronics or devices so that they aren’t emitting any light that can wake you. Disruptive noises can not only keep you from falling asleep, but also cause insomnia. Dampen any noises that may disrupt your sleep.  Turn off the sound and vibration functions of electronics and devices.  Wear earplugs to block noise. Listen to white noise. The ambient sounds of elements such as a fan or a speaker that plays ocean sounds may keep you asleep and dampen disruptive noises.  Place carpets in your room to dampen noise. Exercising elevates your body temperature and blood pressure and it takes time for your body to come down from this. Get your exercise early in the day, which has the double benefit of helping you fall and stay asleep.  Exercise at least three hours before you begin winding down. This will help your temperature and cortisol levels return to normal.  An additional benefit to exercising in the morning: your body's metabolism is running a bit higher all day long, so you are burning more calories throughout the day than you normally would. Caffeine and alcohol are two primary causes of insomnia. Limit your intake of both and only consume them well before you begin your wind-down and go to bed.  Don’t drink caffeinated beverages after noon.  Limit yourself to no more than one alcoholic drink at least four hours before bedtime. Finish eating your dinner several hours before your bedtime. Heavy, late and spicy meals can cause indigestion and insomnia.  Eat at least three hours before your bedtime.  Avoid heavy or very spicy meals, which can cause indigestion that leads to frequent bathroom trips.  Have a light snack, such as yogurt or...

Understand that the presence or absence of a higher power has no effect on your moral code, unless he or she were to provide a code that is superior to one that you can deduce on your own.  In this case, a moral and logical atheist would accept such a code without question.  However, despite its godly origin, such an atheist would still recognize the value in questioning this divine moral code in order to potentially obtain even greater moral right.  If such as divine code is perfect, then questioning it only serves to support its greatness and make it stronger.  As such, one should never fear questioning a moral code. If a modern human were to stone to death an adolescent for not honoring his/her father and mother, we would certainly think him/her immoral.  Yet, these are the prescribed punishments for such acts, according to Abrahamic texts found in the Old Testament. Since modern humans do not follow their religious texts to the letter, they must have some method for determining which prescriptions to follow and which to discard, which is ultimately where our morals come from. Ask yourself -- is this action "good" because God tells us to do it, or is it simply a good thing to do. If the action is only good because God says so, then morality is nothing more than a checklist, and there are likely few Christians who believe that murder is moral just because someone talked back to their father. When something is a requirement, it's not actually moral anymore. Morality is about choice -- deciding to the right thing amongst many options. But if you're only doing the right thing because a religious leader or text told you to, or because you're scared of the consequences of hell, you're not actually being moral. You're being a sheep. Never forget that the mass murders of the Spanish Inquisition and Crusades were considered "moral" because they were apparently backed up by the Bible. But anyone stepping back to think for themselves would have realized very quickly that senseless violence is never a good moral...

TL;DR in English: Understand that the human intellect is the greatest tool that we yet know and that your rationale is important. Note that morality does not come from religion, but from communities who interpret religion. Remember that true moral goodness occurs because you want to help, not because you have to. Consider many of the clearly immoral positions of religions throughout history. Understand that highly religious communities often have higher rates of violence and crime. Note that atheists tend to be less prejudiced, hateful, and against limited rights for minorities. Remember to still accept the good of religious thinking and morality.

Average print speed settings will range from 5 to 20 pages-per-minute (ppm). The optimum quality speed setting is typically among the speed setting options in the speed adjustment control menu on the printer. Increase the print speed to reduce color saturation when images and graphics bleed and warp from over saturation. Decrease the print speed to raise the color saturation when colors seem washed out or faded. These settings can usually be adjusted from the "Print" menu or on the printer's control panel. Choose the highest dots-per-inch (dpi) setting. Depending on the device specifications, the dpi settings will range from 72 to 2400 dpi. The dpi setting will have a dramatic effect on the resolution quality of an inkjet printer.

If you chronically lack confidence, it's probably very easy for you to catalogue your faults and failures, but what about acknowledging your positives? For most people, this is a lot more challenging.  Researchers have found that self-esteem is comprised of both cognitive factors, such as positive memories you have of yourself and your behavior, and self-evaluation, or how positively you evaluate your current attitudes and behaviors. Make a list of everything you like about yourself - your qualities and skills that make you you.  It can help to actually sit down and write out a list as things come to you. Grab a notebook or journal and set a timer for 20-30 minutes. Journaling is a good way to continually maintain and open conversation with yourself about who you are and want to be. It's a way to prompt self-reflection and self-discovery and may help you realize things about yourself that you didn't really know.  Think also about some areas you'd like to improve, such as assertiveness or self-confidence. Contemplate not only what you feel, but why you feel the way you do. Begin to understand your true self, and allow it to exist. If you're not as good at handling some things as you are at others—for example, maybe you feel confident and capable until other people are thrown into a situation, such as in a relationship or at work—acknowledging all facets of yourself is the first step to transformation. Chances are that you are not giving yourself enough credit for everything that you've done throughout your life. Take some time to reflect and look back at your past glories from big to small—things that you've done that you feel proud of. This will help validate your place in the world and the value you bring to the people and society around you and, in this way, build your self-confidence. Research shows that part of building self-esteem is having a solid schema of positive memories about your past accomplishments and abilities. If you begin to accept that you have been a bright, hopeful, confident person in...

TL;DR in English: Take stock of yourself. Look back on your life and your accomplishments. Focus on positive thoughts and beliefs. Set goals and expectations. Fake it 'til you make it. Take chances. Help someone. Take care of yourself. Let go of the idea of perfection. Be persistent.

If you don’t speak Japanese, which is a requirement for most jobs in Japan, then a great way to work in the country is to teach English. Even if you do speak Japanese, you may want the rewarding experience of teaching overseas.  You will need a bachelor’s degree (not an associate's degree) in any subject and possibly a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) or TESOL (Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages) certification. You can get certified as an English language teacher in about three months. Get certified via online or in-person courses. Visit the TESOL or TEFL websites to find accredited classrooms near you. You will need to pass a criminal background check and possibly a drug test. One way of finding a teaching job in Japan is through a program such as the Japan Exchange and Teaching Program (JET). This is run through the Japanese government and places qualified candidates as Assistant Language Teachers in public schools across the country.  Participants sign a 1-year contract and can spend a maximum of 5 consecutive years in the program. You can apply for the program through an online portal during the fall. Your application will need to include the application form, a medical form indicating that you’re in good health, your university transcripts, proof of degree, a 2-page essay explaining why you want to participate in the program, two letters of reference, and proof of American citizenship. It is a very competitive program so not all applicants will be accepted. There are hundreds of private schools offering English classes throughout the country. Typically, you will apply for a teaching position online through the school’s website and be interviewed via Skype if you’re a promising candidate.  Search online for private schools and visit their websites to see if they're hiring. You can also check for job advertisements on Japanese job sites like Gaijinpot.  Make sure the school is legitimate by doing online searches to turn up any negative stories about it. Watch out for red flags....

Look in a local directory to find a tailor near you. You may want to look online for reviews before deciding on a tailor. You can also visit the store to ensure that it is clean and professional, and even ask to see an example of the tailor’s work. A professional tailor should be proud to show their handiwork. Examine an example piece and see if it looks tidy and clean of any loose threads. Usually they require dry cleaning. Read the interior label and follow the cleaning instructions. You can wash your blazers if they are cotton velvet, but make sure to line dry them rather than using the dryer. Store your blazers in garment bags when not in use. This will prevent dust and lint from adhering to them. You can occasionally press them instead by using steam. Steam your blazers with a hand steamer or the steam from an iron. Don’t touch the fabric directly with the iron. Do this with the nap of the velvet facing down, and the steamer about half an inch away from the fabric. Do a test piece first to ensure that there is no damage to the fabric. If you spill something on your blazer, spot treat it immediately. Blot it with water and a clean cloth. It will leave a water stain, but you can then take your blazer to a dry cleaner or wash it immediately as per the care instructions on the interior label.

Naming your band should happen only after you've gotten know your bandmates as player and as friends. Have lots of rehearsals together, get a feel for the sort of music you want to play, who your target audience is, your shared interests, your plans, and other important considerations. Essentially, you are making a product. And you are trying to sell this product to listeners. In order for this product to be successful, it has to be aimed at the right people and you have to be 200% enthusiastic and passionate about your band's identity. One-word names have the advantage of being short, punchy, and easy to remember. Some of the greatest bands of all time have one-word band names that can be iconic and easily translated into a sweet logo:  Blur, Sleep, Kyuss, Genesis, and Death are all awesome single-word band names to take inspiration from. Just start flipping through the dictionary to look for cool words. Give it a "the" in front if you want to seem old-school, or like a punky unit, and check out foreign words. Legendary metal band Pantera got their name from the Spanish word pantera which means "panther." . If you want, add an adjective to your one-noun name, just like Arctic Monkeys, Black Mountain, and Crystal Castles did. Portishead, Lindisfarne, Sleater-Kinney, Boston, and Beirut are all named after specific geographical locations that meant something to the bandmates involved. Think about the streets you grew up on, or the name of the place where your band practices. Keep it local. " Kennings are single words made out of two different words, and are techniques common to poetry and band names. Radiohead, Whitesnake, and Megadeth are all examples of band names made of two words smooshed together to make a new one. Animals always make popular choices for band names.

Follow the directions in the conversion kit for installing these 2 parts using the included hardware. Use the provided bolts to secure the speed controller to the frame of the bike above the chain. Then, attach the throttle to the handlebars so it’s easy to reach. If you have any other accessories, attach them as well. Secure the speed sensor to the back wheel and connect any displays and gauges to the handlebars with the included hardware. Follow the instructions included with the kit to connect each part. Typically, you’ll only need to plug the connector on the speed controller into the connector on the battery, then repeat the process for the throttle. Be sure not to touch the battery wires together, as this could create a dangerous spark! Most e-bike batteries are designed to fit on the frame in place of a water bottle holder. This is the ideal placement since it keeps the center of gravity low. Use the included hardware to attach the battery to the frame as indicated by the instructions that came with the battery. Alternatively, you could place the battery in a box or basket on the front or back of the bike, particularly if it is too large to fit well on the frame (such as if it’s more than 60 volts). Use zip-ties to attach any loose parts to the frame. Keep safety in mind as you don’t want any cables to get caught while you’re riding. That’s it! You can now cruise around on your e-bike. Just press down gently on the throttle when you’re ready to ride. Go for a test drive in a less populated area so you can get used to it before you take it out on the road. The e-bike battery comes with a charger, making the process super simple. Follow the instructions for connecting the battery to the charger and plug it into a compatible outlet whenever you need to.

Use a unique skill or ability that you already possess and make it appear more impressive. Maybe you have great drumming skills, a stellar singing voice, or the ability to make complicated balloon animals. You can then take your ability to the next level by adding in a surprising or interesting element.  Think of creative ways to impress the judges with your talent and show them how well you can do the talent even in less than ideal circumstances.  You may want to enlist friends to perform with you and create an act where you all drum together on stage. Or you may ask friends who can play instruments to be your backing band for your singing performance. You can then create synchronized movements as a band that you perform together during the act. If you have a more specialized talent, like making balloon animals or juggling, you may want to add in an element of difficulty that will appear impressive to the judges. This could be making a huge balloon animal within a certain time limit or making balloon animals while riding a unicycle or running on a treadmill. When you are creating your act, you should showcase your strengths as a performer. This will help you feel more comfortable when you perform and more confident. You will also be at your best when you are catering to your strengths, as this can help to hide your weaknesses as a performer.  If you are more comfortable in costume when performing in front of others, come up with a unique costume that ties into your act. Maybe you wear an updated clown costume for your juggling act or a long, glamorous gown for your jazz singing performance with a band. Think about how you can use costume as a way to feel comfortable and confident on stage. You may be at ease when you move and dance around the stage, as opposed to staying in one place. Integrate this into your act, where you do a coordinated dance with the other people in your act or do a dance to fit your act if you are on stage alone. Stage props can be as simple as a microphone stand or as complex as...

You may find an obvious leak in a pipe or fixture on the floor above the damaged ceiling, but it may also be more difficult to pinpoint.  If you don’t locate the source of the moisture prior to doing the repair, the problem will just keep coming back. Wear gloves, safety glasses and a dust mask while looking for and repairing the leak.  Depending on how long the leak has gone unrepaired, there could be mold present. If there is an extensive amount of mold, hire a professional to remove it safely. If the stain is from a long since repaired leak and the damage is only aesthetic, you may be able to remove the stain with a little elbow grease.  Use a one to one water and bleach mixture to try to blot the stain away.  Be sure to wear safety glasses and gloves when you apply it. If that doesn't work, wait until it dries completely and simply primer and paint the stain to match your ceiling.  As long as the drywall is intact and the leak is repaired, you're done! Depending on the extent of the damage, you may just need to cut out a bit of drywall or you may need to remove entire portions.  If you only need to remove a small portion of the ceiling, use a keyhole saw or similar tool to remove the affected area. If the damage is extensive, you may need to use the claw end of a hammer or a crowbar to remove all of the damaged material. Ensure all stained drywall is removed and that any material remaining is dry and not sagging. Clean the area with household cleaner to ensure mildew and mold does not develop. Now that all of the damaged material is removed, it’s time to replace it with new drywall.   Cut a portion of drywall that is the same approximate size as the area you cut out of the ceiling. If the hole you are patching is small, simply place the newly cut drywall into the hole, then use drywall joint compound to fill the gap and serve as glue to keep it in place.  Use a putty knife to ensure it is flat and even. If the hole is larger, you may need help holding the replacement drywall in place while you use the...

As teens frequently have little experience beyond their high school education, include a section outlining our education on the top of your resume.  Start with your most recent school and work your way back. However, you should not go all the way back to elementary school. Just list your college, if you're enrolled, and your high school education.  If you've accrued any honors during high school or college, it's a good idea to list them. Things like the honors roll, honors college, or Dean's list speak to a strong work ethic. If you have a particularly high GPA, you might want to list that too. Oftentimes, teens have yet to have a real job or their work experience is very limited. However, there are ways to creatively present work experience in a way that displays a strong skill set even if work experience is limited.  List formal or informal volunteer work, babysitting, or any gardening, dog walking, or other chores you may have done for relatives or neighbors for money. Even if these are not highly formal jobs that require a large skill set, the fact you performed them on a somewhat regular basis speaks to a strong work ethic and good time management skills.  Low wage, part time jobs may not seem like much, but mentioning things like waitressing or retail work can look good if you highlight how such jobs helped you with interpersonal communication. Focus on how you talked to and assisted customers and the vast amount of information you had to manage. Make use of resume "buzz words" when you list the jobs you have held.

Grab a pullup bar with your palms facing outward. Then, lift yourself up until your chin is above the bar. Lift yourself slowly to fully engage the muscles in your shoulder and back. Lower yourself down slowly to complete the pull-up. Use your shoulder and back muscles to lower yourself at the same speed you used to pull yourself up.  If you jerk and twist your back as you pull yourself up, you’ll risk straining a muscle. Start with as many pull-ups as you can manage, and try to add 1-2 more each workout. For example, start with 10. Next time you do pull-ups, aim for 12. Lie on your front, with your elbows bent and your weight resting on your forearms. Then, push your hips up until your back is parallel to the floor. Retract your shoulder blades to engage more of your back muscles. Hold the position for 15 seconds. Try doing 2 sets of 15 reps. Once you’re comfortable doing low planks, try adding high planks into your workout routine. The only difference is that, instead of resting on your elbows, you’ll fully extend your arms and rest on your hands. Lay flat on your stomach and straighten your arms out in front of you, palms down. Then, slowly and simultaneously raise your arms up until your hands are about 6 inches (15 cm) off the ground and raise your legs so your feet are also raised 6 inches (15 cm) off the floor. Squeeze your legs together and keep them straight. Hold the pose for 15-30 seconds, and perform 3 sets of 10 reps.  You can increase or decrease the difficulty of the superman pose as needed. Try raising one arm at a time, then build toward raising one arm and the opposite leg at the same time. Move to raising both arms but not your legs, then both legs but not your arms to prepare you for the complete pose. This exercise works your back extensor muscles, which run down your spine and impact your posture. Lie flat on your stomach for this exercise. Push your shoulders back and raise your arms until they’re about 4 inches (10 cm) off the ground. Hold your arms outstretched so they’re parallel...

TL;DR in English: Do pull-ups to strengthen your shoulders and upper back. Perform low planks to strengthen your lats and build your core. Try the “superman” to strengthen your lower back and core. Strengthen your mid-back and shoulders with reverse snow angels.

Once you've cut the player loose, your decision is final. There's no turning back -- you won't hang out with him again, return his calls, or even grab coffee with him because you feel sorry for him. Remind yourself why you played him in the first place. Either he really hurt you or another friend, or you just realized that he's the kind of guy who doesn't respect women. If he doesn't respect women, then why should you respect him?  If you give in and do see him again, he'll quickly lose respect for you. If he's a true player, he'll only want you if you don't really want him all that much. Once you've played a player, you'll be better at recognizing them in the future. Watch out for these cagey guys and protect your heart as you move forward in your love life. Remain humble. Don't let this accomplishment get to your head; although it does add an extreme boost to your confidence (you might start to think that you can get any guy you want or feel that you're "playing" some guys when they only look at you as a friend)the tables can turn quick if you get caught up (with other dudes). They might know the game a little better than you do.

TL;DR in English:


Set goals. Invite people to do things with you. Do not take rejection personally. Get on social media. Treat others how you want to be treated.

In order to evaluate the level of brake fluid in the clutch master cylinder, it is important that your vehicle is level.  Parking on a hill or at an angle can cause the level in the master cylinder reservoir to read incorrectly.  You may want to allow the vehicle to cool for an hour or two to prevent burning yourself when checking the fluid levels. Parking at an angle may make it appear that you have more or less brake fluid than you actually do. Find the hood release on the driver’s left hand side.  It is usually located near the door frame with a small image of a car with its hood open.  Pull the release back toward you to release the hood.  Approach the vehicle from the front and pull the hood up slightly.  It will catch on the safety release.  Slip your hand beneath the hood and find the lever to release it.  In some vehicles, the safety release is located in the grill rather than under the hood. If you are unable to locate the release, check in your vehicle’s owner’s manual for guidance. With the hood propped open, locate the clutch master cylinder. It is usually located on the firewall of the vehicle, just below the windshield.  It will have a plastic reservoir that will be either clear or semi-clear with lines indicating the fluid level inside.  If you are having difficulty locating the clutch master cylinder, refer to your vehicle’s service manual for assistance. The clutch master cylinder is usually on the driver’s side of the vehicle. Inspect the reservoir attached to the clutch master cylinder.  There will be at least two lines indicating a minimum acceptable level of brake fluid and a maximum.  If the brake fluid does not reach the “full” line, you should add fluid.  If it is close or below the minimum line, you should inspect the master cylinder and clutch system for leaks.  If the brake fluid is well below the minimum line, there may be a leak somewhere in the system. Leaks not only allow brake fluid to escape, but allow pockets of air to enter which can cause further issue when operating your clutch.

TL;DR in English: Park your vehicle on level ground. Open the hood. Locate the clutch master cylinder. Check the fluid level.

If you have lingering pain or other methods don’t alleviate your back pain, take an over the counter medication. However, if you experience continued discomfort, consult your doctor.  Take ibuprofen or another type of NSAID (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) to help relieve your back pain.  Pain relievers are also good for other symptoms of dysmenorrhea such as headaches. Because birth control pills often contain hormones and control a woman’s menstrual cycle, taking them may help alleviate pain associated with your period. Consult with your doctor about taking the pill, which may help to relieve your back pain.  Skipping the placebo, or pill-free, week, may also help manage back pain.  You need a prescription to get birth control pills, so you’ll need to schedule an appointment with your doctor to discuss your options. Some sources suggest quinine for cramping and pain. However, medical professionals agree that quinine is dangerous and can cause a numerous health problems such cardiac arrhythmia, nausea, headaches, and tinnitus.

TL;DR in English: Take a pain reliever. Obtain a birth control pill prescription. Stay away from quinine.

It may sound strange, but setting goals can help you make new friends. This is especially true if you're on the shy side. Setting small goals for yourself, that allow you to gradually break out of your shell, can help boost your popularity.  Set small goals for yourself at first. For example, you can promise to make small talk with a new person before class every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. As you begin to feel more comfortable socializing with others, try to set bigger goals. You can promise you'll go to the birthday party you were invited to and try to talk to at least 3 new people. If you're persistent with following up on your goals, you'll eventually feel much more comfortable socializing. This can allow you to meet new people and make a great number of new friends. If you want to make more friends, you have to focus on socializing outside the classroom. Once you get comfortable hanging out at school, try inviting someone out. Ask an acquaintance if he or she wants to go see a movie or get coffee. Try getting a group together to do something fun, like go to the mall. Do not be afraid to ask a popular girl to do something with you, especially if you have already established a firm connection with her in school. If you get along with someone inside the classroom, there's a good chance that person would be open to spending time with you outside the classroom. Fear of rejection is a big reason people refrain from putting themselves out there. However, rejection happens to everyone. Just because someone doesn't want to see a movie with you on a particular Friday does not mean that person is not interested in your friendship.  People do have other obligations. If a popular girl declines your invitation to get coffee, she may genuinely be busy. Don't use this setback as a reason to retreat back into your shell. Remember, there is a lot you do not know about other people. Anyone you talk to has a litany of obligations and issues you do not know about. If someone says "No," that person may be shy or busy. Take...

This can sometimes prompt the oven’s computer to reset and release the lock button. It’s fairly common for the lock function to get stuck if the self-cleaning cycle was interrupted for any reason, like a power outage. If the outlet is hard to reach, you could also turn off the circuit breaker that powers your kitchen. Leave it off for 5 minutes before flipping it back on. This will also cut the power to your oven and hopefully reset the computer. If turning the oven on and off didn’t reset the computer, try asking it to run a self-cleaning cycle and then promptly cancel it. This should hopefully engage the lock function (even though it is already engaged) and then release it after you press the “Clear/Off” button. Make sure to wait long enough after pressing “Self-Clean” for the process to start. You can usually hear your oven’s system start the cycle. If starting and canceling the self-cleaning cycle didn’t work, try letting the oven run a self-cleaning cycle. Set the timer for 1-2 hours and then let it do its thing. Give it several hours after the cleaning cycle to cool down, which should prompt the internal temperature gauge to release the lock function. The internal temperature needs to get back to around 200 °F (93 °C) or lower, and that may take anywhere from 30-90 minutes after the cleaning cycle is finished. Find an appliance repair company in your area who can fix the brand and model of oven you have. Some companies may offer a free estimate, especially if you’re a new customer, so spend some time looking at companies, reviews, and rates to find a provider you’re comfortable with.  Doing a DIY repair or finding a way to force the door open can result in more expensive damage than if you were to just call a repair person to come to take a look at the oven. Even if you manage to get the oven door open on your own, you still don’t know the underlying cause that is making the lock function engage when it shouldn’t be.

TL;DR in English: Unplug the oven for 5 minutes, plug it back in, and press “Clear/Off”. Press the “Self-Clean” button, then “Clear/Off” after 60 seconds. Run a short self-clean cycle and let the oven cool off for several hours. Call a professional so you don’t damage the oven door.

Unfortunately, fraud and identity theft are becoming more-and-more popular. In some cases, con artists will mail-out falsified tickets in order to obtain an individual's private information.  Make sure all of the information provided on the ticket is accurate and complete. Is your name spelled correctly? Address correct? If any of this information is incorrect or missing it may be an indicator of fraud. , the highway patrol or the local police department).  Only the agency that issued the traffic violation can verify whether-or-not your ticket is indeed authentic. Have your citation number ready. The time and day of your arraignment should be listed on your citation.  This is also the last day to pay any fees or penalties if you choose to do so.  The ticket will also have the address and contact information for the courthouse you will be required to appear. In some states, this is the latest date that you can pay or appear in court.  In these states you may appear in court anytime before this date to be arraigned. On this day, you will not be presenting your case or your evidence to the judge, but will instead, be entering a plea of guilty, guilty with explanation, or not-guilty.  Those who enter a guilty with explanation plea, are admitting guilt but asking the court to consider the circumstances and conditions of their violation. This can lead to reduced penalties. When the judge announces your name and case you will be asked to identify yourself, at which time you will be able to enter a plea.  Once you plead not-guilty, a date for your court-hearing will be set. Be sure to be on time. The court clerk will help you with all of the appropriate paperwork, and will be able to provide you with further information regarding your personal defense. This will include a time and date for your hearing, as well as a specific courtroom address and room number. Properly filing a "request for production" is very important.  It establishes a legal date of receipt.  Depending on your state, the prosecutor will then have a...

The only way to turn your Mac into a wireless hotspot is to connect it to the network via Ethernet. You cannot create a wireless network if you're using your wireless adapter to connect. If your Mac does not have an Ethernet adapter, you'll need to use a USB Ethernet dongle. You'll find this in the upper-left corner of the screen.  This is at the end of the third section in the System Preferences window. If System Preferences does not open to the main screen, click the "Show All" button at the top of the window. This button has 12 small dots. The "Internet Sharing" option can be found towards the bottom of the list of "Services" on the left side of the window. Don't check the box yet, just highlight the "Internet Sharing" menu option. This will display the different network connections on your Mac. This will set Internet Sharing to share your Ethernet connection with other devices.  "Ethernet" may have a slightly different name depending on your Mac model. "Ethernet" will not appear if you don't have an Ethernet cable connected to your computer. You cannot wirelessly share a wireless connection. This will enable other devices to connect to your hotspot via Wi-Fi. This will allow you to change your hotspot settings. This information will be required when other devices attempt to connect. This will turn on your Mac's new wireless hotspot, allowing other devices to connect to it. Once your wireless hotspot is active, you can connect to it from your other devices. Your new network will appear in the list of available networks on nearby devices, and the password you created will grant access to the internet. The other devices will not be able to access the files on your computer.

After you’ve checked yourself and found a way to keep yourself afloat, see if you can offer assistance to other survivors who may need help. Other survivors could be in serious distress and need immediate help.  Assist others who may be in shock. Talk to them, tell them things will be okay, and let them know you are there to help them. Treat people who have concussions. After you’ve adjusted to your new status, you need to talk to everyone in your group and get them organized. Survivors in your group may have knowledge, expertise, or ideas about how to increase your survival chances and get rescued. Stay together. Your chances of surviving and being rescued are a lot higher if your group is organized and stays together. After you and other survivors have found a way to stay afloat, start organizing and gathering supplies. Ultimately, the more supplies you have and the better you manage them, the longer you’ll be able to survive until you are rescued. Pay special attention to:  Fresh water. Store and ration your fresh water as well as you can. Food. Signal flares and other items you could signal rescuers with.

Qualitative research can be expensive and time-consuming. Finding the method that is best suited to your needs is crucial – especially if you have a limited budget.  The least expensive method of qualitative research is to send out feedback surveys with open-ended questions. However, open-ended questions will take some time to read through, and won't necessarily give you actionable information. However, they do provide more personal information. You can also organize focus groups or conduct individual interviews. These methods are significantly more expensive and time-consuming. It can also be difficult to get customers to agree to participate. If you ask customers for their email addresses at the point of sale, you can ask them for open-ended feedback on their purchase and their likelihood to return to your store. If the customer had any problems, either at the store or with their purchase, this gives you an opportunity to address them immediately. Keep these surveys relatively short. Otherwise, your customers may not complete them or even answer them at all. If you have additional questions, you can ask customers if they'd be willing to complete a longer survey at the conclusion of the shorter one. Open-ended questions allow for a qualitative assessment of customer satisfaction by giving your customers the ability to expand their answers. You'll get more personal information about the impact of your customers' experiences with your products or services.  For example, instead of asking customers to rate their level of satisfaction from 1 to 5, as you would in a quantitative study, you might ask "What aspect of your shopping experience was the most satisfying for you?" Instead of asking whether they are likely to recommend your products or services to family or friends, you might ask why they were likely to recommend your products or services, or what they were likely to say to others. If a customer stopped visiting your store, or stopped using your products or services, find out why. You can get valuable...

There’s no point in sugar-coating your feedback. In fact, your criticism will likely become lost if you sandwich it between praise. Instead, simply come out with what needs improvement.  Additionally, use specifics in your feedback. Say exactly what it is that the person should work on. If not, they won’t know how to become better. Give the positive or negative feedback as soon as you see something that needs to be addressed. Waiting until after the fact is often dangerous because you may not remember exactly what happened, and neither will the person you’re giving feedback to. Pull the person aside as soon as you can and say, “I noticed you completed the task like this. However, I don’t think that’s the best way to do it.” Or, “I really like how you handled the task you were given.” You are more likely to make an impact when you address the situation immediately. Criticism should be given in private, as your goal isn’t to embarrass anyone. Praise, however, can take place in public. Typically, giving positive feedback around others makes the person you’re addressing feel good about themselves and can boost the overall morale.  For example, you can send out a mass email praising the person. You could also create an employee of the month or wall of fame to showcase accomplishments.

Sports journalism is a competitive job market. While an internship can give you an edge, doing freelance work while you are searching for a more stable job can enhance your resume. Find freelance work by contacting websites, magazines, newspapers, and radio stations that have regular sports reports. Come up with several writing pitches, and e-mail your best ideas to the editor of the blog, magazine, or newspaper. Do this regularly. Once you start publishing regularly, you will be able to develop a writing portfolio. Once you have published several well-written pieces, begin compiling your best pieces for your portfolio. You do not need to include all your writing pieces. A few solid articles are better than a lot of mediocre pieces. Your writing pieces should represent you and your writing interests. If you have several pieces that cover different sports, categorize them as such. For example, have a separate category for football, tennis, and soccer.  The number of writing pieces to include varies; some jobs will specifically request a certain size portfolio. As you put yours together, be sure to include at least 8 to 10 strong pieces. Your portfolio should also have a brief biography detailing who you are, why you are passionate about sports writing, and why you are a great fit for the job. Before you go to a job interview, take time to learn about the company. Also, be ready to give examples of some of your outstanding writing pieces, and remember to bring your portfolio. Brainstorm different writing ideas and angles before you go into the interview, and make a list of your top three. Remember to network during your undergraduate studies, internship, and freelancing experience. Create relationships with your supervisor and other writers. These relationships can lead to job opportunities in the future. You can create relationships with your supervisor by being proactive and by creating quality-writing pieces.  Remember to showcase your stuff. Post your best writing on social media outlets like Twitter and...

Like the previous method, you start by turning the tomato on its side. Your cutting the tomato in half, but through the side rather than down the top. You'll end up with the top of the tomato being one half and the bottom of the tomato being the other half. Once again, you need to pull the tomato apart to reveal the center and the seeds. While you'll see a division among the seeds, you probably won't be able to keep as much of the flesh with this method. However, it's a quick method to remove seeds. Over a strainer and a bowl, squeeze the seeds out of the tomato. Simply hold the tomato with the skin in your hand and the cut side over the bowl. As you squeeze, you'll release much of the seeds in the middle. You may smash the tomatoes up a bit with this method, so if you want a pretty presentation, try another method.

TL;DR in English: Slice the tomato in half. Open the tomato up. Squeeze the tomatoes.

Most email providers have some sort of spam filter or spam section of the inbox. Any scams or phishing schemes that do not automatically get forwarded to this section can be filed there manually by clicking on the "Spam" or "Report as Spam" button at the top of the email or inbox. When you take this action, oftentimes, the email provider is automatically alerted. If the provider is not contacted, you can go to the provider's help section and find out which customer support email address to forward to scam email. If you receive one of the infamous "Nigerian prince" emails that offer you a large sum of money in exchange for assistance in a financial transaction, forward or fax a copy of the email to the U.S. Secret Service at 419.fcd@usss.treas.gov or 202-406-5031, respectively. The Secret Service keeps all such messages for future investigations. If you receive an email from a company that asks for personal information, such as your Social Security Number, there is a good chance that the email you received is fake and that the company sending it is not the company it claims to be. In cases like these, you should email or call the customer support section of the company being impersonated to inform them of the fact that someone is attempting to phish information from their customers. Online auction websites and other websites through which users buy and sell their own belongings usually have special sections of their websites dedicated to reporting scams. If you see a posting that is clearly a scam, flag it as such and contact the scam section of the website's customer support department. If a company calls with a suspicious offer, such as a free cruise, credit card, or loan offer, alert the FTC by going to their website and filing a complaint via the tools and links on the FTC's website. The FTC can and should also be contacted about email and Internet scams you find, especially if they are scams meant to obtain personal financial information from you.
